Fans blast ESPN's Dan Orlovsky for saying Mac Jones won't be a good NFL QB
Alabama is trouncing Arkansas on Saturday afternoon, so the ESPN broadcasters are looking for anything interesting to talk about.
Much to the dismay of Alabama fans, that topic has become QB Mac Jones’s NFL Draft stock. Broadcaster Dan Orlovsky spent a long portion of the second half discussing why he doesn’t think Jones will be a good NFL quarterback.
Naturally, that drew plenty of criticism from Alabama fans on social media. Below, you can see a sampling of some of the Twitter reaction to Orlovsky’s comments:
Funny to listen to Dan Orlovosky, career NFL back-up, pick apart the potential first round pick, Mac Jones, and claim he won’t be a good NFL QB.

Dan Orlovsky’s fav QB is Carson Wentz. He needs to SHUT his mouth about Mac Jones in the NFL. #RollTide pic.twitter.com/npgVG5XVbc

Dan Orlovsky trying to say that Mac Jones won't work in the NFL like he wasn't trying to say Jake Fromm was QB1 during a 3 int game against South Carolina last year

@danorlovsky7 slagging @MacJones_10 on the #Alabama game right now. I'll have to say, if anyone would know what wouldn't work as a QB in the NFL it'd be Dan https://t.co/qSa2ahSBJX

Alabama got a fumble recovery.
I also learned that Mac Jones isn't athletic.

The commentary team has turned mac jones from the heismann favorite to an octogenarian in a rascal scooter with this pointless bs debate

Twenty minutes of Dan Orlovsky devaluing Mac Jones is definitely a real treat. Like, we get it dude. #BAMAvsARK

You’re not a Mac Jones fan.

Jones is considered one of the Heisman frontrunners, so his play this season is speaking for itself. Jones will focus on winning a national title first, then he’ll turn his attention to potentially entering the 2021 NFL Draft.
